Dentelles Sarrasines and crossing of Rocher du Turk from Vacqueyras
This circular walk starts from Vacqueyras and ascends to the Dentelles Sarrasines through fields of vines to Col, d'Alsau. From here a steep path leads up to the foot of the crags and follows the climber's path to the gap next to Rocher du Turk. From here the path descends on the other side of the crag and drops to the valley to pick up tracks and paths back to Vacqueyras via more fields of vines and woods. This walk is quite shaded in many places which makes it an option even in July or August. (In summer check for fire risk see practical information.)

Short tour of the Dentelles Sarrasines
A promising little tour of the Dentelles de Montmirail, without too much difficulty. After an initial climb, the rest is relatively easy.
After several comments, I would like to point out that this is a hike, not a short family walk suitable for all ages. It is steep and rocky, and you are at the summit. Otherwise, stay on the DFCI trail below and climb only to the Rocher du Midi.
